Yes, if the valve is bad. With the car idling, move the EGR valve diaphragm with your fingers. The engine should quit or want to quit. If it doesn't do this, it could be plugged up. Remove the EGR valve and clean any carbon deposits in the valve and also do the same on the engine side where the EGR valve is connected. If the EGR has never been removed before, it will probably have carbon buildup.

Does the engine from 2001 Volvo truck fit 2007?

It can be done. However, check on the legality of this... if the 2007 was a glider kit, pre-2007 emissions engines would be legal... however, a 2007 truck which came completely assembled might be required to have an engine compliant with 2007 emissions standards.

What role do auto mufflers play in passing an emissions test?

They keep the exhast fumes to a minimal, thus reducing the amount of pollution that is let into the air. Without a muffler there would be double the smog that is already hampening many cities worldwide, that is why it is required as an emissions test. If you don't have a good muffler you will not pass the emissions test. It's job is to both filter out the worst pollution and baffle the noise your car makes.
